Arbour Lake – Calgary Lake Communities
Arbour Lake is a well-established Calgary lake community in the northwest quadrant. Founded in 1992, the community is centered on a man-made lake and is only minutes of driving from Crowfoot, one of the largest outdoor shopping centres in Calgary.
These two features alone have made living in Arbour Lake as convenient as it gets for any lake community in Calgary, with heaps of essential amenities, services and recreational opportunities very close to home.
All of this and more is yours as a resident of Arbour Lake without sacrificing too much of the urban lifestyle for living in such a beautiful lake community.
Commuting to downtown Calgary takes approximately 20 minutes, give or take depending on traffic, while ample access to other parts of Calgary are provided by Country Hills, Crowchild Trail and the nearby ring road of Stoney Trail.
